Timing Belt

Keeping Your Engine in Sync!

The engine has a variety of metal components operating at the same time. Their purposes and their effectiveness often depend on each other. If one component is not functioning properly and on time, this will negatively impact other vital engine parts. The timing belt is the reason that many of these malfunctions never happen. SAF-T Auto Centers in Wallingford, CT knows how to monitor your timing belt and keep you two steps ahead of any timing belt breaks. When the timing belt breaks, the engine will no longer start. You will need a tow truck to bring you to our full-service auto repair facility. The timing belt will have varying service intervals depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Typically timing belts will need replacing after between 60,000 – 90,000 miles. Many drivers are unaware that the timing belt is a vital part of the engine. Don’t let a complete engine breakdown be the first time you’re hearing about the timing belt. Pay attention to abnormal squeaking sounds or any other early warning signs of trouble and bring them to our experts.

Water Pump & Tensioner Replacements

Camshafts and crankshafts are able to stay in sync because of the timing belt, which in turn allows proper timing and operation of the engine valves. When the timing belt breaks and is replaced, it’s wise to replace the water pump and tensioners as well. If the water pump breaks after the timing belt has been replaced, the service will be much more costly and time-consuming.
